    Neighbor just got a Note 3, it's so much better than this newer model.

    Yet stupid people give up basic utilities because thats what the magical gnome on the TV box says is cool.

      Too much fanboys in here. Damn. Reading it just feels painful. Just pick what phone / phablet is the best and don't bash the others.

          android guy, 01 Jan 2016nexus 6p? where are you? Ehy i cant see you in the list? lo... moreBecause this site's visitors are predominantly Samsung fanboys. That's the reason why Samsung devices tend to get ejaculated on whenever a poll about them pop up.

            android guy, 02 Jan 2016you kiddin right? I guess you are just sitting now with iph... moreI am not trying to prove anything, that's the point. I am merely pointing the facts out to you, ALL things make a phone, not only software, that's ridiculous. Everyone knows that pure Android will rock over any skinned Android any time, any day, that's not the lone deciding point in finding the best phone.

            So yes, here I am saying the fact again, no Nexus phones are anywhere near the best. You must find the 6P great, and believe me when I say this that I am happy that you are using something you like, but kindly don't make ridiculous comments like 6P is the TOP phone of 2015, that's funny and childish.

            I use a Note 3, the best phone I have ever used, coming from a nightmarish Moto X 2013 experience, LOL, its a 2 year old flagship, and I know that quite a lot of phones out there which can beat this phone from most angles, and I am not sad about that, cause in my mind I don't need to use the "best phone" of a certain year.

              Even though I don't own any of these phone, I still think Note is best Phablet out there. Everyone else are just a try hard copied to Samsung succeed.

                Anonymous, 01 Jan 2016new android flagship phones can't support ac3 sounds.. appl... moreLOL, who cares about that?

                Natively OPUS support is all that matters today. That format beats all other sound formats except for WAV and FLAC. With OPUS you will get almost indentical FLAC quality in MP3 size.

                The MP3, AC3, AAC & M4A formats and so on should die and OPUS should take over those.

                But when that's said. I do however have a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ that should be the 2nd best phablet after the Galaxy Note 5 :-D.

                  ithehappy, 01 Jan 2016Sure it's the best, FOR YOU, the last decent phone you used... moreyou kiddin right? I guess you are just sitting now with iphone, and cant just approve that nexus 6p is the top 2015 phone. Check reviewer videos, specs on paper doesnt matter for this phone as it has no unfixable software issues, also no issues at all, because its google, real android developer, fixing very fast. And you are just trying to prove that nexus is not worth 1st place? Note is great, it would be more great if it had no bloatware and no ram managament issues. Also i dont like same design over years. Everything else seems to be fine for me. Get some facts before replying. Using note 5 i would never ever would be happy with it. As i will know that im reatricted with bloatware and bad ram managament, hopefully nexus just makes everything easier.

                      ssbatman21, 01 Jan 2016mx pro 5 does hav a fingerprint sensor, and about camera, ... more'Extremely positive' camera review? Tell that to DxoMark first. Better battery life than Note5? Unfairly compared with slight differences in battery capacity. Since when screen resolution affect gpu. Even if it is, that effect is so little to be noticed. If lower resolution is so good for gaming, all phablet would make do with 720p resolution like you said. Look at where we are now. Even Sony 4k is have better rating. I bet you still play with your quarterHD smartphone for gaming. Must be blazing fast*(sarcastic).

                          better battery life den note 5.
                          external micro sd card support and about d display resolution i thnk quad hd is just an added bonus while 1080p does a respectable job and doesnt put alot of pressure on gpu while gaming and which helps pro 5 in getting such high benchmarking scores.....
                          wat m surprised at is d similarities btwn d lowest rated and highest rated phablet.....

                                      They also removed IR along with expandable memory and removable battery from Note 5, i hope they bring it back. .

                                        AnonD-364786, 01 Jan 2016Don't think so. 30 to 40% maybe. everything 5"+ is a phablet. and how many phones are under 5" today ?
